Pegan Hill (Trustees of Reservations) – Natick & Dover, MA

Pegan Hill is a small park with a hiking trail that runs about a mile each way over Pegan Hill on the Natick/Dover town line. The trail itself never leaves the woods, however the southern end of it intersects with Pegan Lane which is a nice additional walk.
